With those houses it could very well be a scene from Southern Sweden were this kind of houses are pretty common. Great scene!

Dear Paul,

You are a fascinating person.
Last week we discussed the psychological question about 'where to draw a border line while making a miniature landscape?'
I advised you to use the limited surface of a bouncing ball as a mini-globe. But that was a joke.

AND NOW YOU COME UP WITH THIS!

This is the brilliant solution to your own psychological dilemma: where to draw a line when your diorama or gaming table is extending without knowing where or when to stop?
Answer: The limits will be drawn where the size of your forced optical perspective is zero/horizon.

Two questions:
1) Can this be used 360 degrees around? If not you still have the same old problem.
If possible, it will be a circular diorama with one hole in the middle.
2) Will you use 15mm and 6mm figures in the background and 28mm closest to the viewers point of view?

A fascinating piece of work. I had a good laugh at the " roof tiles" comment. Bravo!
